Oregon Daily Emerald VOLUME XXIV. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE. TUESDAY. OCTOBER 10. 1922 NUMBER 6 University to Clash With 0, A, C, and Reed in State Triangular Meet RULES SAME AS LAST YEAR Oregon's Prospects Good With Six Veterans Ready To Turnout The forensic artists of the University of Oregon will mount the platform for the first linguistic wrangle of the year, December 8, when they tangle with Reed College and Oregon Agricultural College in the annual state triangular debating contests. Paul Patterson,. manager of University forensics, re turned yesterday from a meeting of representatives from the three institu-, tions which was held at Portland over last week end, and at which was con structed the agreement by whieh the debaters are to be regulated. Patterson conferred with Managers j Graham of Heed and Good of O. A. C.,; and came to an agreement with them that virtually the same rulings would apply to the meet this year a's have been in use hitKerto. Industrial Court Is Subject The question which will be the sub ject of controversy this year is “Re solved: that a federal court with power to enforce its decisions should be es tablished' for the adjustment of indus trial disputes.” A two-man team for each side of the question will repre sent each institution. The negative teams will travel this year, with Reed coming to Oregon, Oregon visiting O. A. C., and O. A. C. going to Portland i to meet with Reed. Each speaker is to be limited to argument of 20 minutes, and will be allowed a five minute re buttal. 1’aul Patterson, veteran memuer 01 the debate squad and manager of for ensics, is hopeful for Oregon’s chances this year. Patterson captained the Ore gon teams to victory last year. It was then that the power behind the smooth working machine was recognized in the person of Clarence D. Thorpe, professor of public speaking, and coach of debate in the University. T,horpe served his first year in this capacity last year and was practically unknown in debating circles in the state. He stepped out, showing his unsuspected ability, to de velop reliable argumentators, and cap tured not only the championship of the state by defeating Reed College and O. A. C., but led his teams to vic tory over the University of Washington and Stanford University in the Pacific Coast conference championship debates. Thorpe maintains his usual reticence concerning the prospects for the year and hesitates to voice propitious en-^ thusiasm for the prospects this year. But Patterson himself may be taken as an authoritative spokesman of the coach. Outlook Is Promising “The prospects are exceedingly good,” said Patterson. “The outlook has never been better as far as the chances for the championship are con cerned. We have six lettermen in the University, and all are showing promise for the year’s task ahead, the develop ment of a championship team. Besides myself those who will supply the per sonnel for the squads this year are Claude Robinson, Boyd Iseminger, Charles Lamb, Ted Rice, and Ralph Bailey. These were members of last year’s championship teams, and there (Continued on page two.) EMERALD'S CIRCULATION COVERS BIG TERRITORY Alumni Members Well Represented On Mailing List; Parents Also Among Subscribers ‘‘I could not get along without my daily copy of the Emerald. It is bad enough to know that I shall never go back to the old school.” This is a statement made by John Houston, ’21, now living in Klamath Falls, and is the opinion of many alumni who are send ing for their copies of the Emerald. Money in the form of mail orders, checks and stamps is coming in from all parts of the United States in re sponse to letters sent out recently to alumni from the circulation manager’s office of the Emerald. Five hundred letters were sent out last week and al ready many answers have been receiv ed. Almost every state in the Union is represented on the mailing list. Be sides the alumni subscribers who are to be found in all parts of the United States, there are many advertisers throughout the country who are send ing in subscriptions. The University sends copies to the high schools of the state and exchanges are carried on with the state’s leading newspapers. It is interesting to note that Representative C. N. McArthur, an old Oregon student, is still a loyal subscriber to the Emer ald. Parents of students are also among the subscribers. FROSH MEET MT. ANGEL BN GRIDIRON SATURDAY Strenuous Practice for Game Brings Out Material Showing lots of fight but woefully lacking in experience and team play Baz Williams’ freshmen fotball squad faces a hard week of practice in prepar ation for its first game of the 1922 grid iron season with Mt. Angel college next Saturday. Beports from the Catholic institution indicate that Mt. Angel has one of the best elevens that has represented her in years and the fact that the colleg ians have already participated in one or two games makes it evident that Ore gon’s yearlings will have tough going. “It will be putting up a practically in experienced team against a squad of veterans, since the Frosh have been to gether altogether too short a time to handle many plays and formations very efficiently,” was Baz’s comment on the game last night. “However,” he added, “we are going to put in a week of hard work and it may be assured that the frosh will give their opponents lots of fight.” Jack Bliss Returns Prospects for the year were given a big boost last night by the return to a suit of Jack Eliss, husky tackle, who was injured in the first practice of the fall. Bliss will undoubtedly prove one of the mainstays in the line as he weighs close to the 180 mark and last year was on the all-California interscho lastic eleven. The good news of Bliss’s return was somewhat marred, however, by the rumor that Sherman Smith, a Grants Pass lad who has been showing up well at end may be forced to with draw from the squad for the season be cause of heart trouble. Smith was scheduled for a medical examination late last night and it is doubtful that he will be allowed to continue football. His inability to play may prove quite a blow as he showed prospects of devel oping into a capable wing man. A new member of the coaching staff began work last night in the person of Bob Earl, varsity guard of several years ago. Earl will fill the place of Dot Medley who was forced to resign be cause of conflicting duties. He was a creditable performer during his period (Continued on page three.) Summer Session Students Find Time for Outdoor Diversions The summer session of a state uni-1 versity is pretty apt to be rich in ma terial for the humorist, cartoonist, and j sociologist—or it may be one extrava gant feast of recreation and inspira tion, depending upon one’s point of view. At the summer school on the campus last summer there was a percep tible mingling of both viewpoints since many more regular students remained than is ordinarily the case, and, owing to the effort on the part of Dean Dy ment to centralize the graduate study on the campus, many teachers, princi pals, and school superintendents attend ed. A flip and flighty flapper of the regular session happening unwarned up on the campus might have been amazed to see a hoary superintendent and a buxom primary instructor in heated col loquy over a game of croquet, and would have gazed with astonishment at flying horseshoes tossed to and fro un der the nicotine tree by the collective strong right arm of the guardians of the younger generation. At the houses of residence daven ports grew mossy, pianoB dusty and telephones cobwebby while the inhabi tants hiked among the hills under the guidance of Dr. Bovard or played dom inoes and tiddledy winks. Outdoor sports seemed to be the most popular, and on one week-end a three day trip was made to the Tnree Sisters. The remaining students of the regular session kept the millrace oiled and in good working ord*r and attended “en masse” th? tea.', dances and par.ies given by Women’s League of the sum mer session. Warren Keys and other unprincipled members of the Hammer and Coffin got out a summer humorous magazine under the poetic title of “The Summer Breeze” and ruined several teachers fi nancially by their vigorous sales cam continued on page three.) Character of Major-General Wood Is Praised by Oregon Man Who Was in islands GEOLOGY TOUCHED UPOM Commercial Concern Has Been Drilling for Oil Without Getting Results “Major General Wood commands uni versal respect in the Philippine Is lands,'’ said Pr. Warren D. Smith, head of the Geology department, in an in terview recently. “This is not due so much to his military prestige, or" his enormous capacity for work, or his ex ceptional executive abilities and sev eral other qualities which he possesses in a marked degree; but chiefly to his character, which makes him stand out above all others. A great majority of the stories written in the American newspapers regarding the Philippine situation are misleading or contain only half-truths.” Dr. Smith has just returned from a two years’ leave of absence which he spent in the Philippine islands as chief of the division of mines of the Bureau of Science. “The Philippine islands are no worse off than many other countries.; and bet ter than several European countries,” Dr. Smith said. “When General Wood came to the islands as governor-general, the exchange rate-, was very high,. at times as high as 14 per cent; but since he has taken hold, the exchange rate has dropped to 1-2 per cent. “Most Filipinos desire independence, I believe; and I personally think that desire is legitimate. The United States will do the right thing for the Fili pinos. and that which seems best for both the United States and the Philip pines. Autonomy Is Probable “It is probable that some plan will be worked out whereby the Philippines will retain the protection of the United States and at the same time have auton omy. The ultimate solution, though, depends more on the Filipinos than any one else,” intimated Dr. Smith. “The social system of the Filipinos does not coincide with the American. There is a peasant class and an “ilus trade, ’ or aristocratic class, but no mid dle class as we understand it; and it is this class that the government is trying to develop as rapidly as possible. “\V native-born Spaniard said to me, ‘No other country would do for the Philippines what the United Stances is doing; what your country is doing in the Philippines and what it did in the great war shows that its ideals are of the highest.” In his official capacity as chief of the division of mines, Dr. Smith went to the islands to complete work in which he has been engaged from 1905 to 1914. This undertaking consisted of investigating the natural resources of that insular country. In regard to this, Dr. Smith says, “The potential wealth of the Philippines is enormous. They have immense possibilities in their agricultural and forest products; and their mineral wealth may be great, although it is yet undeveloped. While there may be a small commercial sup ply of oil in the Philippine islands, I am not sanguine as to the possibilities | for a large production. The drilling operations of a subsidiary company to the Standard Oil company of Califor nia has so far proved that my surmise is correct; drilling has been under way for over a year w'ithout results.” Coal Found in Islands Coal, however, is everywhere in the Philippine islands, finds Dr. Smith. It is of the same general grade as that found in Oregon and somewhat better. For the most part it is of the sub-bitu minous class, although there are mil lions of tons of other grades in the islands. One field alone is known to contain at least 3,000,000 tons of semi anthracite coal. A large deposit of la tenitic iron ore somewhat like the Cu ban deposits exists in the Mendanao district. Dr. Smith was instrumental in the framing of the mining laws which are aimed to protect the Filipino and the American citizen. These laws require a company desiring to mine metals to be either American or Philippine in citizenship; but persons wishing to ex ploit oil deposits must be either Amer ican, Filipino, or citizens of a country that extends the same privileges to a citizen 6f the United States. The Philippine islands are set forth 1 by Dr. Smith as one of the most inter | esting parts of the Pacific region. He | designates it as a part of Malaysia, a connective between Asia and Australia ; Many geological formations found in . (Continued on page four.) Censure for Stanford ********* Post-Season Contest Incenses ********* Three Stars Ineligible BY EP HOYT Meeting in Portland Saturday, the Pacific (.'oast, conference adopted reso lutions of reprimand and forwarded them to Stanford university. The offense of which Stanford was guilty was in sche duling an intersectional game with Pitts burgh university in the new Stanford stadium for December ,'10, just two days before the annual east versus west inter sectional game which tentatively at least was to have been played at Palo Alto. The resolutions drawn up by the confer ence meeting held that Stanford had not “exercised the proper frankness in ne gotiating for a game with Pittsburg as early as August when Dr. Barrow of Stanford had told the summer meeting of the conference that the stadium could be had for the conference intersectional game. The six weeks delay caused by the secret negotiations of Stanford also were instrumental in causing a less satisfac tory financial arrangement with the Tournament of Roses committee for the use of the Pasadena stadium; the Pasa dena people having offered the confer ence approximately $100,000 ns its share prior to the announcement of the Pit.ts burg-Stanford contest. Arrangements were completed Saturday whereby the conference is to receive $70,000 from the Pasadena committee ns well as the right to select its own and'the eastern team. If Stanford’s plan of action remains fixed, she will withdraw from the con ference at once upon receipt of the repri mand, according to a letter read at the Saturday meeting from Dr. Barrow. This letter said in part: “We could not can cel the game with the University of Pitts burg if we would. If the majority of the conference members still feel that our action was contrary to the best wis dom of the conference or in any way reprehensible we will have no alternative but to resign from the conference.” The answer to that paragraph of Dr. Barrow’s letter is found in the closing paragraph of the resolution of reprimand, to-wit: “The Stanford-Pittsburg game is understood bv all member# of the conference except Stanford as in violation of the spirit of the conference rule, but the embarrass ment in the negotiations for the confer ence game is regarded as Stanford’s most serious offense.” Whether or not this covers the “reprehensible” clause in Dr. Barrow’s communication is for the read er to judge. Should Stanford withdraw from the conference it would not of course mean ] the cancellation of conference games. In no way could this year's schedule bo at- \ footed. La future, well California has a ten-year schedule with Stanford and both; institutions are paying for their stadiums. §o that is that. In any event pressure will not be brought to bear upon California to break her contract with Stanford, which would naturally cause California's embarrass-1 meat. In all probability should Stan ford see fit to* withdraw several confer ence colleges will certainly continue to schedule games with the I’alo Alto college and it is rumored that several will not. The whole question brings up tho un wiehliuess of tho present conference ar rangement. Stretching as it does from Moscow to tho the north and east and I -os Angeles to the south and west, Idaho would have to travel almost 2,000 miles to play Southern California. Tho sug gestion is current that two conferences, one in the north, composed of Oregon, Washington, O. A. 0„ Washington State and Idaho, the other in tho south, with Stanford, California and Southern Cali fornia and possibly Nevada be formed. Such an arrangement would interfere to no great extent in the scheduling of games and would certainly group the competing institutions far better ns to conditions and temperament. Certainly it. would simplify matters of discipline. As you may gather, tho conference members put in a busy day in Portland last Saturday but they were not too busy to nick Oregon fop a husky lineman by declaring Cogs Campbell ineligible. It was brought to light that Campbell had left Oregon Agricultural college with 10 hours of incompletes, which when changed to flunks on his O. A. C. to Oregon transcript, were thought to bo suf ficient grounds for making him ineli gible. Howover, Oregon wasn’t nlone in losing ntheltic assets, for it came up that Mush Hjelte, tho tnll scantling who was tho Oregon Aggie basketball team last winter, had twice entered the Uni versity of California and twice boon sent rejoicing with a pageful of F’s bo himl him. Idaho was another sufferer in losing Bob Fitzko; this howover was a mere question of routine as Fitzko had played frosh football with the Uni versity of Wyoming last year. Fitzke won the Whitman-Idaho game with drop kicks last Saturday at Walla Walla. PLEDGE DAY WILL BE HELD ON OCTOBER 26 Well-Known Men Will Speak At Future Meetings Pledge day, an annual event in tho University, will be held this year, Thurs day, October 26, it was announced yester day by Karl W. Outhank, executive sec retary. Pledge day at the University, which was inaugurated by ex-Governor West in 1912, has during that length of time come into a place distinctly its own. It is now regraded as one of the most important days in campus life— a day when all students make public ac knowledgement of their debt to the people of Oregon. It is a day when the new student is suddenly confronted with the inspiring realization of duty to the state of Oregon and to the citizens of the state. Governor Ben W. Olcott, who has thrice administered the pledge will again have charge. Other assembly dates »rc. November 9, pre-Homecoming week, In which all students will make prepartions for Homecoming; November 16, Frank Ir vine, editor of the Oregon Journal, Port land, will speak; November 23, Ernest Tucker will lie the speaker; December 14, Dr. Warren D. Smith, head of the geology department, who has recently re turned from the Philippines, will tell of his experiences on the islands. I Declaring that if the attendance justi fied the use of the Woman’s building for assemblies, Karl Onthank, execu tive secretary to the president, stated that that place would be used in preference i to Villard hall this year. | ___ BOYKTON WHITES PAPEB Dr. W. P. Boynton and Arthur Bram ley have recently published a pamph let entitled “A Modification of Van Der Well’s Equation.” Dr. Boynton is head of the physics department and M>. Bramley graduated from Oregon two years ago, after which he took a post graduate course for two years. While at the University Bramley was a mem ' her of the Honor society. He is now 1 at the University of California. FROSH-SOPH MIX WILL TAKE PLACE SATURDAY Captain of Senior Guard As sures Square Deal Really now, will tlio freshman-soph omore mix scheduled for next Saturday be square? John MacGregor, student body presi dent, says the men will be square and Delbert Oberteuffer, captain of the sen ior guard, insists that it must. Now what more assurance could bo given that the mix is going to be the squarest in the history of the University? To prevent any irregularities or in fringements on the rules of fair play, Captain Oberteuffer has called out the senior police to supervise the Bquarest mix yet. Arrayed in sombreros and decorated with stars of burnished steel, (Continued on page three.) y Choice of Quarterback Lies Among Brown, Burton and Johnson COG CAMPBELL INELIGIBLE Shields Will Be Able to Play Against Multnomah Next Saturday \ arsity hopes for victory this year, at a high point last week, arc greatly lowered as a result of the Willamette game, in which no less than five first string men wore badly injured, and Troy McCrnw, one of the best linemen out, had a knee wrenched so seriously that he will be out the rest of the year. Another serious injury was that to Quarterback Hal Chapman, who had a ligament in his leg wrenched and will be out of the game for at least two weeks. This necessitates the develop ment of a new man for calling signals, the choice probably lying between Ward Johnson, who played quarter part of last season, Ken Burton, who played that position on the frosli team two years ago, and Bus Brown, who has been acting quarter part of the time. Campbell Lost to Team Another bad omen for tho Oregon team was I he finding of the Pacific Coast conference at Portland Saturday that Cog Campbell, 215 pound lineman, is ineligible this year. Cog was show ing up lino in practice and his loss will be greatly felt, especially at this time when so many men are out with injur ies. “Mush” Iljolte, the Aggie foot ball and basketball star was found in eligible at the same meeting on infor mation brought out by the California delegates. Other men besides McCraw and Chap man who wero injured were Gram, Par sons, and Brown. Gram was hit in the chest and will be out of the lineup for at least two weeks according to Coach Bill Hayward. Chuck ParsonB had his back wrenched and will bo out for pro bably three weeks, while Brown had an unklo twisted, but will probably be all right for the game with Multnomah on Saturday. CaHison Not Yet Beady Prink Callison is out every night now, but Mb loga are in poor condition, and he will be unable to play for at least two or three weekH, Bill Hayward says. Dick Reed nnd Byler ate both in good condition though, ami cither of them is able to handle the pivot position Sat urday against tlio Portland clubmen. The only ray of light in the football outlook is the fact that Tiny Shields has practically recovered the injury to his back, and may bo in the lineup again on Saturday. Tiny’s presence will help greatly, as ho is one of the best guards on the coast at present, and has held that position for the last two years on the lemon-yellow teams. The number of Johnsons out for foot ball was increased -00 per cent yester day afternoon, when in addition to Ward, both Bill and Terry turned out for line positions. These mdn both played frosh football and may get a chance before the season is over. Willamette Oregon Jinx The Willamette bunch seems to be an Oregon jinx as in the game last year three of the varsity stars were injured. Billy Reinhart had his collar bone brok en and was out for the rest of the year, while DeArmond and Parsons were both out for two or three weeks as a result of the contest. The game with Multnomah which (Continued on pago three.) Names Adopted at Open House Show Wealth of Imagination “Graham is my name,” said the head of the masculine formation. “I’m very glad to meet you, Mr. Gra ham,” came the response. “Miss Crac ker, Mr. Graham.” Mr. Kodak did not search for Miss Roll in vain. They were all there at open house, Saturday night, even the celebrated Hart, Schaffner & Marx con cern were represented in rapid order. Mark Anthony and Mr. J. Caesar had humorous representatives. Mr. Hyde met Miss Seek, Mr. Pillow, Miss Slip et al., in the annual struggle for cognizance or, if one’s memory was in need of the eight free trial lessons of the memory course, for at least pseudo cognizance. Home of the possible names and com binations of such, while false, led un suspecting pledges on. One might have imagined himself in Europe with Mr. Ireland hot on an England’s trail. Any two names, which to the originators seemed clever, were tried. Some old studes even put on pledge pins and were the recipients of numerous congratula tions. It’s the usual line of bunk given at every open house ever held. One’s jaws open with a smile mechanically every ten seconds, one’s hand is gripped, one’s toes stepped on, one is jostled, pushed, shoved, bids adieu, and leaves or is left prostrate, yet anticipating the next line. A few men were seemingly attached to the wrong house, and it is reported that one pledge became lost and made the rounds all alone until ho happened upon his brothers. The music was good everywhere, and contrary to former years the schedule was closely adhered to, in spite of dis tances between the various houses. On the whole a lot of fun was prevalent and everyone became acquainted.
